| Pancreatitis in Puppies My 10 week old Dany was diagnosed with pancreatitis this week. She has also been dealing with giardia and coccidia these past couple weeks which she's finally getting over. The vet said that pancreatitis in puppies is very unusual. Just wanted to know if any of you have had experiences with pancreatitis in puppies? She's currently being syringed fed Clinicare liquid diet and Royal Canin gastrointestinal low fat wet food. Currently she has no appetite to eat on her own (she's on an appetite stimulant med too).

| They did a blood test and noticed that her amylase and lipase were high so they did a definitive blood test called cPLI (canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity) and from this they were able to determine that she has pancreatitis.

| Poor puppy..hope she is feeling better soon! It is true that they often do not know the cause of pancreatitis.

| Dany just had her second cPLI test to see how pancreatitis was doing, but turns out the results were even more elevated than before. Vet said that she still has pancreatitis and it is still not resolved. Its been a couple weeks now. Anyone else had to deal with pancreatitis that took a long time to heal?

| From what I've read on the net, it's hereditary. Since she's so young & having these issues, confirms it I think. What do you think about contacting your breeder? So sorry she's going through this...hope you & your vet will find a solution soon.

| Presley was 7 when he had his first attack. And, it took about 2 weeks for him to get completely through it. He would hardly eat a thing at first. Ever since then he has had a couple of setbacks, but thankfully has gotten through them. Sometimes he will feel bad for 4 or 5 days, not really wanting to eat for about 2 of those days. We have about 1 bad flare up a year now. Our vet lets us manage it with medication and he usually recovers in a day or two. But if he vomits blood, we know its a bad episode and take him right into the vet. They can live with the condition, as Presley is now 16, as long as its managed properly. Hopefully your little puppy can pull through ok without reoccurrences. You have to be vigilent in not feeding it bad food. Even certain treats can trigger attacks. Its a learning process. |
